Getting to know Vic Yamasaki

**Vic is private pay only until fall, 2026** Vic is an LAPC therapist and Villanova University graduate who uses she/they pronouns. As a member of the LatinX community, Vic is passionate about helping clients explore the ways gender identity, sexual orientation, culture, relationships, and body image intersect with emotional well-being. She offers an affirming, culturally responsive space for LGBTQ+ clients, people navigating identity or belonging, and individuals experiencing disordered eating or difficult relationships with food and their bodies. Vic approaches therapy with warmth, curiosity, and respect for the full context of each client’s life. Rather than reducing people to a diagnosis or symptom, they help clients understand how personal experiences, family relationships, culture, trauma, and larger social systems may shape the way they see themselves and move through the world. Her goal is to help clients feel genuinely understood while developing greater self-trust, emotional awareness, and freedom to live more authentically.

What should a new client know about working with you?

**Vic is private pay only until fall, 2026** Working with Vic means having a therapist who will meet you with warmth, curiosity, and genuine respect for who you are. She understands that concerns like anxiety, trauma, body image, identity, relationships, and disordered eating do not exist in isolation. Together, you may explore how family, culture, gender, sexuality, past experiences, and social pressures have shaped the way you relate to yourself and others. Vic’s style is collaborative, affirming, and nonjudgmental. They will not pressure you to share more than you are ready for or assume they know what is best for you. Instead, she will help you slow down, understand your patterns, build practical coping tools, and develop greater trust in your own needs, boundaries, and voice. You can expect therapy to feel supportive and human while still offering thoughtful challenges that help create meaningful change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

**Vic is private pay only until fall, 2026** Vic begins by taking time to understand what brings you to therapy, what has been feeling difficult, and what you hope might change. Early sessions may include questions about your current concerns, relationships, identities, culture, past experiences, coping strategies, and existing strengths. Together, you will identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic rather than following a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. Sessions are collaborative and may include talk therapy, exploration of patterns, practical coping skills, and attention to how emotions show up in the body. Vic may help you examine the impact of trauma, family dynamics, social systems, and cultural expectations while supporting you in developing greater self-compassion, emotional regulation, and confidence in your choices. The pace of therapy will be adjusted to your needs, with regular opportunities to discuss what is helping and what you would like to approach differently.
